<div>on may 6th i completed the 29th cursa (race) de cortes ingles (a popular depatment store here). i didn't do it alone though. amanda and i went with our friend, irene and matt was there (but WAY ahead). this year there was over 53,000 people participating..that is right. a LOT. it is a course of 11k that takes you through the city center, up the side of montjuic (big hill that forms side of city), in the olympic stadium (around the track) and back down to the main plaza. i couldn't begin to descibe the energy we felt as we ran and walked along with 54,000 other people that we attempting to accomplish the same goal. it felt like something you want to get lost in. and stay. mmm...why isn't more of life like that? ohh...and the proceeds went to a good cause called casal raval. check it out by clicking <a href="http://www.casaldelraval.org/">here</a>. i'm thinking about getting involved there. </div>

the above phrase (title) was taught to me last week by my new friend, cesar. as far as i can tell, it means something like "yes!" or "wow!" but has no direct translation into spanish or english. for some reason i love that...it reminds me just how complex and interesting an animal a new language is. some things can't just be traded from one language to another...one just has to dive into the culture and world of another to begin to understand their language.
anyways the diving in is a slow process...but worth it. i'm enjoying the fall.Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15597199193333769983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838340.post-7568466739698030542007-04-24T12:41:00.000+01:002007-04-24T13:01:15.631+01:00san jordi<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5056961475878725394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNVYYpefA1j-oVsgKIze9a56hEPYk-PhV2Gh-GiE8yort1q-1y4Xc44Jx29HKfvnxtLARxRcAJ-lBrTPjn2TppmoIwzWN8lUP7TA5WQj4Sra9GMo6e9sRoM3kmLgsaExqam2OL/s320/Copy+of+Montjuic+April+2007+034.jpg" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLnW3mweaSsZeqnIpZbqpCzNX2pVplG-QsGxnoziudCjqpQLJxPB_Ys494g1Cia5EPE903IvmlU8OOTuwIDTHya2pAJ6vjkKumI0IAGuarKYChHTL3b5TLIjU3eHY2sPIpa1i0/s1600-h/Copy+of+Montjuic+April+2007+033.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5056961475878725378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLnW3mweaSsZeqnIpZbqpCzNX2pVplG-QsGxnoziudCjqpQLJxPB_Ys494g1Cia5EPE903IvmlU8OOTuwIDTHya2pAJ6vjkKumI0IAGuarKYChHTL3b5TLIjU3eHY2sPIpa1i0/s320/Copy+of+Montjuic+April+2007+033.jpg" border="0" /></a>

<div>several of us here just bought tickets to go to santiago de compostela in may. from there we will travel about 100-120 kilometers out and then take 5-6 days to walk back. i can't possibly say how excited i am about this. i don't usually get hyped about walking blisters onto my feet and sleeping on the floor...but i will make an exception here. not only am i expecting this to be a sort of spiritual pilgramage, i also see this as a sort of comming home. for those of you who have travelled this journey with me for awhile, remember that santiago is where my days in spain began. i can't wait. (above is a foto i took of the church in santiago)</div>Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15597199193333769983noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838340.post-10252398609960862442007-03-10T20:59:00.001+00:002007-03-10T20:59:52.394+00:00new fadi just signed up for facebook.

i am so odd. and forgetful. when i have a still moment, and remember, i see the path that i've been on and who has guided me through it all. and i am thankful. i just need to remind myself of that each morning. because i am forgetful.Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15597199193333769983noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838340.post-1167006674161895262006-12-24T23:42:00.000+00:002006-12-25T00:31:14.393+00:00paper mache<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4736/502/1600/260709/Copy%20of%20Bennett%20Girls%20December%202006%202%20040.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4736/502/320/853393/Copy%20of%20Bennett%20Girls%20December%202006%202%20040.jpg" border="0" /></a>

it is christmas eve...ah hem...actually it is christmas now in spain since i am seven hours ahead of home. and i find myself eatting mexican food, watching movies and blowdrying a paper mache balloon. spanish traditions? hardly. some bizarre party? nope. actually a couple friends and i just found ourselves bored and trying to forget that so much distance separated us from home.
don't get me wrong....i love barcelona. i have a life here and i'm deep in it with little desire to change where i am. its just that there really is no replacement for home. especially on days like today when everyone and their uncle is planning a family get-together.
no need to feel sorry for me though...i was lucky enough to have just had my sisters here for a few days last week. it passed so quickly that it left me wondering if they had actually come at all. amanda followed us around one day and took some fotos for us since we are so rarely all together. gracias aj. you are brillant.Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15597199193333769983noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838340.post-1166221763504977972006-12-15T22:14:00.000+00:002006-12-15T22:31:22.810+00:00eire<img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4736/502/320/859336/Copy%20of%20Dublin2%2C%20Ireland%20December%202006%20002.jpg" border="0" />

this is the three of us in a shop window near garforth street. cool shopping. we were actually suprised by how small the city was...this was the main area to go shopping and get a cafe. needless to say we spent enough time there.

i mentioned to him tonight that i am having trouble illustrating. i tend to copy. i want it to look realistic. he said that if i could return to my childhood i would find the whole creative process a little less fustrating. you see, he reminded me, kids don't worry about what is right or wrong in art. they just create. they don't worry about getting messy...they have fun. he said that we too often become the critical and worried adults that unfortunately cannot create like we once could as children.
it sounded a lot to me like when Jesus said that to understand the kingdom of God we had to become like children. their spirits are untouched. their eyes are clear. their hearts are playful. i want to recapture some of that as i create and as i approach God. i think that children have so much to teach us.
by the way, happy 2nd jonas. you teach me something everytime we play. i love you.Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15597199193333769983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838340.post-1164810964992248772006-11-29T14:35:00.000+00:002006-11-29T14:36:05.010+00:00disclaimerall of the below photos from the party were taken by my brillant and talented roommate, amanda. otherwise known as the snowflake artist.Evahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15597199193333769983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838340.post-1164743552576244802006-11-28T14:02:00.000+00:002006-11-29T10:15:34.520+00:00disturbing sweet potatoes<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4736/502/1600/Copyt14.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4736/502/320/Copyt14.jpg" border="0" /></a> we wanted some christmas cheer in our apartment since it still feels like spring here so amanda cut about a million snow flakes out and hung lights. it just feel christmasy in here. she is now the new snowflake artist on the team. the one of the coffee cups is my personal fav.</p><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4736/502/320/Copyt2.0.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>this is some of our stash that our moms brought us so that we could celebrate Tday with our friends here. a lot of it has been there for a couple months much to our friends amusement when they openned our cabinet looking for a cup.
